NHL Notebook: Former Oilers winger Kent Nilsson predicted to be named to 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame class
Kent Nilsson wasn’t in Edmonton for long after being acquired in March 1987, but the impact he made was massive. He would score five goals and 17 points in 17 games in the end of the regular season before going on a playoff run that saw him score six goals and 19 points in 21…
Five important questions ahead of Oilers’ lengthy road trip
Love them or hate them, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers. They had their best come-from-behind win of the season last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, featuring their first fight of the season, magic from the captain, and big goals and saves when it mattered most. That said,…

‘It’s nice to have him on your side’: Oilers players react to Connor McDavid’s two-goal game

The Day After 17.0: McDavid wills Oilers to uplifting win over Blue Jackets
Monday night could’ve gone really bad for the Edmonton Oilers. Down 3-1 in the dying seconds of the second period to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the boo birds were out in full swing, and rightfully so. The team had just stunk Rogers Place out two nights prior, and it looks like the Oilers were well…

Finally
News broke early today as the PWHL decided to announce the dates and locations of their 2025-26 Takeover Tour stops. I received an email in my inbox that arrived approximately 30 minutes before the official social media blitz began, but the announcement that the PWHL was coming to Winnipeg to play at the Canada Life Centre felt like a big "finally" had been lifted off this city. Until this year's tournament in April 2025 in Czechia, the IIHF Women's World Championship attendance record had bee...

Oilers’ first fight of the season sees Trent Frederic bloodied by Mathieu Olivier
An Edmonton Oilers player has finally dropped the gloves. After the Colorado Avalanche demolished the Oilers 9-1 on Saturday, Trent Frederic was one of just three Oilers players to speak to the media, noting that no one wants to fight a player with just one goal through 15 games. Well, he found a dance partner…

Since our last update, the Bakersfield Condors have played four games: a back-to-back against the Calgary Wranglers and another back-to-back against the Henderson Silver Knights.

Good, Bad, Ugly: Dissecting Edmonton’s rough start to the 2025-26 NHL season
I work a part-time job in the evenings now, so I can’t watch a lot of the games. Perhaps that’s not necessarily a bad thing based on what I’ve been reading and listening to lately. The Oilers are looking grim these days, as they are barely limping along in seventh place in the division at…
Oilers are in trouble if Knoblauch’s only plan is demanding more from McDavid and Draisaitl
The Edmonton Oilers have spent the better part of the last decade being a two-man team. Connor McDavid and Leon Drasiatil. The Dynamic Duo. A pair that was destined to lead the franchise back to the promised land. The proof is in the pudding that those two played a massive role in Edmonton’s back-to-back trips…
GDB 17.0: Oilers Must Respond After Saturday Debacle (6:30 PM MT, Prime)
Flat. Uninspired. Anemic. Bland. Dreadful. There are hundreds of adjectives that would easily describe the Edmonton Oilers’ performance in their ugly 9-1 loss to Colorado, but the aforementioned words aptly describe much of this season as well. The Oilers have only won six of their first 16 games — only St. Louis, Buffalo, Nashville and…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Redemption starts now for the Oilers
Monday night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets is a double-edged sword, and everyone in the Edmonton dressing room knows it. The Blue Jackets haven’t won once on this road trip. They’re limping into Rogers Place looking for anything resembling a confidence boost, and if the Oilers hand them that gift-wrapped opportunity? It’s not just…
Oilers’ Ryan Nugent-Hopkins out a week as Mattias Janmark returns to lineup
The Edmonton Oilers will be without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for at least a week after suffering an undisclosed injury, head coach Kris Knoblauch said Monday.

Today In NHL History - Hextall Fights Felix Potvin
On November 10th in 1996, Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers skated the length of the ice to engage netminder Felix Potvin when a melee broke out at the end of a match against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hextall was met with a willing and able opponent who quickly bloodied the Flyer backstop with a serious of blows to the left eye. Not surprisingly, the Philadelphia feed (below) hailed
Today In NHL History - Lindbergh's Car Crash
On November 10th in 1985, Flyers goalie Pelle Lindbergh crashed his Porsche into a wall at 5:37am returning from an evening of team celebration with a blood alcohol level of .24%. The 26 year-old Vezina winner never regained consciousness and was removed from life support the next day upon his father's arrival from Sweden. Despite his death, the popular Swede topped fan voting for the 1986 NHL
Today In NHL History - Kovalchuk's Shootout Miss
On November 10th in 2010, New Jersey Devils star forward Ilya Kovalchuk fabulously flubbed a fourth round shootout attempt against Jhonas Enroth giving the Buffalo Sabres a 5-4 victory in Lindy Ruff's 1,000th game behind the Buffalo bench. The $100 million dollar man's miscue sealed his squad's fate as the league's worst through the first fifth of the NHL's 93rd offering, with only 4 wins and 10
Today In NHL History - Linden Trade (WAS-VAN)
On November 10th in 2001, the Vancouver Canucks acquired former captain Trevor Linden and a second round draft pick (Denis Grot) in exchange for a first round pick in 2002 (Boyd Gordon) and a third rounder in 2003.

Today In NHL History - Ruutu Punks Phaneuf
On November 5th in 2005, Vancouver Canucks resident pest Jarkko Ruutu punked Calgary Flames rookie defenseman Dion Phaneuf, flirting with fisticuffs then falling the 2003 first round draft pick with his stick. Adding injury to insult, Phaneuf was assessed a two minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play. Calgary survived the ensuing 5-on-3 powerplay, four minutes into the final frame, and
Today In NHL History - Béliveau's Hat Trick
On November 5th in 1955, Jean Béliveau scored three powerplay goals in 44 seconds against Boston Bruins netminder Terry Sawchuck collecting the fastest hat trick in Montreal Canadiens club history. Trailing 2-0 in the second period, the Montreal unit of Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson, Jean Béliveau, Maurice Richard, and Bert Olmstead dominated Boston with a two-man advantage as sin-binners Cal Gardner
Pre-Scout: Blue Jackets arrive in Edmonton winless on Western road swing
After the absolute drubbing the Edmonton Oilers were handed on Saturday night, perhaps it’s best that Monday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets is behind a subscription paywall. It’s Monday Night Hockey on Amazon Prime… yippee! Two different brands of .500 collide here. The Blue Jackets are a more earnest 7-7 against the Oilers, loser-pointed…
